    Re: How to use add multiple entries in a single column using vlook up

    I'm afraid this is a little vague (at least for me). Can you please add a representative sample of what you are trying to achieve.

    Attach a sample workbook (not a picture or pasted copy). Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and then scroll down to Manage Attachments to open the upload window.
    HTH
    Regards, Jeff

    This is not a VLOOKUP - it's a SUMIF:

    =SUMIF($A$2:$A$9,H6,$B$2:$B$9)

    VLOOKUP is not suitable for summing. SUMIF, SUMIFS and SUMPRODUCT are the functions you will need to choose between.

    Provide a more meaningful set of sample data.

    Provide a more realistic sample of data (workbook with more than one worksheet of data) so that we can see exactly what you are attempting to achieve.

    Why are you so intent on using VLOOKUP?

    Explain the fifth answer on the sheet:

    Excel 2016 (Windows) 32 bit
    A
    B
    C
    6
    BSH WM12T460IN WASHING MACHINE
    7.000
    18
    Sheet: Sheet1

    Where does the 18 come from?

    Re: How to use add multiple entries in a single column using vlook up

    This, then:

    =SUMIF(Sheet2!$A$3:$A$64,A2,Sheet2!$D$3:$D$64)

    As I have said all along, you do not need VLOOKUP for this calculation.
